SC-S29/W1- Nostalgia of the Liitle me : Games we used to play (how well do you know your nouns?)

in #nostalgia-s29w129 days ago (edited)

A great weekend and happy new year to you steemians. It is with great pleasure ,I share with us a childhood game that can never be forgotten cause I will pass it down to my children because it is a brain developer. It's a game I still enjoy playing , now that I'm grown.
What is childhood ? if your fun part of a child isn't in the games/adventures that you experienced then. I played a lot of games as a child whose names I don't know in English - suwe, Tinko, who's in the garden, table tennis, hide and seek and many more. But the one that stood out is what I'm sharing with you.

What is the name of the Childhood game?

It is called **how well do you know your nouns?** cause of the definition of noun we were taught as a child.**i.e A noun is a name of a person, animal, place or things**. I enjoyed playing with my siblings and neighbours during leisure at home. In school, I played with my classmates or seat partners so as not to make the class noisy.

How is the Game played?

The game is played between a minimum of two(2) persons. Using a sheet of paper and pen, the sheet is divided into seven(7) rows- 2 tiny & 5 big as seen above. The 5 big columns carry ( names, animals/insects, things, food/fruits and places) while the 2 tiny columns carry ( letters of the alphabet and individual marks).
Rules guiding the Game

• You start the game by saying
" I call on letter ..."

• Each player has a freewill to call any letter of his/her choice
• You only write after a letter has been called by a player and also stop when he/she says stop.
• Your marks are deducted, if you don't complete a word or writes the same thing with another

Why is the Game Special?

It is a game that stood out for me because it requires speed,concentration, critical thinking and brings about competitive spirit. It's not a game you use all your body to play but your mind. It's a game you learn from. It can be played between adults too.
I remember scanning the dictionary at age 7 or 8 just know more
words with letters like
W
,
X
,
Y
,
I
,
Z
because much words aren't formed with those letters. It wasn't the era of andriod phones neither has technology advanced like now, the only way out was to check the dictionary . I was so eager to lay my hands on books just to find some new words which are not common.

Values learnt from playing the Game

• Self confidence
• Self Independence
• Smartness
•Time conscious
• Helps your vocabulary and spellings at a tender age
